ADJUSTMENTS.
Memphis Thentcr.

That really delightful play, "Jim the
Penman," was reproduced last night in
the same excellent manner as on the open
ing night. Each act is perfect in itself,
and when the curtain goes down on the
quiet but striking tableau, you give sigh
Of relief and disappointment at the sudden
closing Of scene that is as clear cut rs a
silhouette. It is 80 different from other
PLAYS in its treatment by the author that
you are met with surprises when least ex-
pected; surprises so cleverly wrought
that you are lost in admiration
Of the playwrights skill. The
people in the cast seem like natural people
passing through an episode OF life; all evil
dence OF their being stage people or the
abstracts and brief chronicles Of the
times" disappears and is forgotten in the
excellence of the presentation. II is one
Of the strongest and most attractive dramas
on the American stage, and deserves
crowded houses nightly. II would be I'M
fair to designate any one OF the cast Of
characters, but the applause which always
greets the entrance OF Mr.. w. J. Fer
gusson, the Capt. Redwood, OF
the play, IL may be stated is a
well deserved tribute 10 an old acquaint-
anCe who, MS Pittacus Green, in "Hazel
Kirke," and Maccari, in "Called Back, "
has not been forgotten by the theater GO

DAKOTA.
Election for Division OF the Territory
Result Unknown.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. S.-The election
in Dakota today was for the purpose Of
voting for or against the division OF the
Territory on the forty.axth parallel, and,
in counties In which an election had been
called for by n petition 10 the county
commissioners, the question Of local op.
ton was voted upon. The Pioneer Press
has returns at midnight from twenty coun.
ties. which show a gcncmlly light vote on the
question OF division, with the probabilities
that the majority in favor thereof in the
whole Territory will be about 10000. In
the Black Hills the anti-diyisionisis rc-
Trained from voting and the vote for divis.
ion was small. Brown aud other central
Dakota counties will I've almost solid
against division. Burlcigh and other
counties around Bismarck go solid against
division. Cas- county, Of which Fargo Is
the county seat, gives about 1000
majority against division. Grand
Forks county gives like majority
for division. In north Dakota, ~ whole,
the majority for division, II any, will prob.
ably be- small. South Dakota, ~ q whole,
goes solidly for division. On the question
oi license ". prohibition, the counties
containing the largest towns, like Fargo
and Grand Forks, 90 for license, but Of the
whole vote east prohibition will probably
get q small majority.

YESTERDAYS ELECTIONS.

The Democrats yesterday won all that
was important they should win. Elec-
tons were held in fifteen States, and the
Democrats had stake in but two Of them
New York and Virginia. In both these
States they achieved magnificent victo.
rics. In New York Cook, for
Secretary Of State, has defeated the son Of
Ulysses S. Grant by 1900, and in Nir-
GINA Malone heard his death kncll, n
Democratic successor 20 Riddcbergcr
being assured, thus removing Malone
MS a senatorial possibility. In Ohio
Foraker, the Republican candidate for
Governor, has defeated Powell, showing
that the people Of that State enjoy the I'M
enviablc distinction Of clinging To dead
issues and standing in an attitude OF an
tagonism 10 all that sayors OF sectional
fraternity and progressive politics.
In Iowa tho Democrats have made great
gains, the Republicans barely winning,
the conclusion being that the Democrats
next year may properly indulge the hope
Of carrying the State, Maryland Is
safe in the Democratic line. Rhode
Island has gone Republican, oicourse, and
10 has Massachusetts. Tie returns from
New Jersey are scnnt, aud the result is moi
known. In Pennsylvania Democratic gain.
are reported from all quarters. Mississippi
makes a good report, and its Attain
will continue in the hands OF Demo
cratic Legislature. Detroit Is Democrat,
by an immense majority. Fellows beat
Nicoll in New York city for district attor.
ncy by $4,000, aud in Philadelphia Krum
haar, the Democratic candidate fol
sheriff, defeats Leeds, the Republican,
easily. In Oregon prohibition meets with
lis third defeat since August. The tclc-
graphic columns Of the ArrRAL this morn.
ing give the details OF tho battles in the
various States, the ultimate deduction
being that il WIS a great day for the
Democracy, and that the assurance Of a
magnificent victory for the party in 1883 is
absolutely positive.

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH
ASSOCIATION


Which met in this city yesterday for the
first time has made decided impression
upon our citizens, indicative OF the value
OF its aims and accomplishments. The
work II has done, covering wide field OF
observation and experience, and the plain
formulation OF its remedies are made
more apparent the closer il comes under
the scrutiny Of the people. 1t is one Of
the most humane and least selfish of or
CARNATIONS. Its purpose is the decrease
OF the death rate 10 u natural or normal
standard. To do this, IL seeks TO save the
people from their own ignorance and
perycHcncss by training them in the laws
Of health and life IL makes plain
the necessity for personal hygiene and the
cultivation of the body, and points out the
evils following upon habits of intcmper-
ance, in eating rs in drinking, and in the
penicious use OF tobacco and snuff II
takes cognizance of the dclcterious poisons
that are blown by the winds from filthy
streets, the crowding Of tenement houses,
the pigs.y condition of workshops and
factories, and the effects upon children Of
lily ventilated aud badly lighted school
rooms surrounded by closets too foul for
words adequately to paint. II concerns
itself about food and food authorizations,
and, most important of all, the water that
is drunk. An association thus 40 init.
mntcly concerned in the affairs OF life, il
worthy Of the closest attention by all
classes Of the people. We are happy "a
say il is in this spirit its members
were welcomed by Judge Clnpp, who.
speaking for the people whom lac 80
worthily represented, welcomed them in
terms that left nothing TO be desired. lie
expressed the gratitude Of Memphis for
the help Of the association at critical
period, and voiced its sense OF appreciation
and the warmth Of lis welcome for its sani-
tary friends. .,,

The Republicans Undoubtedly Vie
tortous.

ONAuA, Neb.. Nov. S-Thc Omaha Bee
says the Republican state ticket, composed
oi one candidate for the supreme court aud
two candidates for regents Of the State uni
yepity, has been elected by over 10000
majority. Nineteen district judges were
elected in Nebraska In some
districts there were nnn-plriisan
judiciary tickets and these wcrc all
victorious The four non.partisan judges
In this district, the Thirl. have been
elected by majoritics ranging from 200
20 1000. In the county Of Douglass q
light vote was east, owing largely Ia the
heavy rainfall In the afternoon.
The Republicans elect the sheriff, trcas-
upr. clerk oi the court, surveyor and very
likely the three commissioners IN this
county. The other Offices, county clerk,
recorder. coroner aud superintendent Of
schools are In doubt. There was n great
deal oi scratching. aud the count will not
be concluded until tomorrow morning.

late this afternoon indicate that the Pro-
hibitionists have over-estimated their
strength in interior towns, and that the
prohibition amendments defeated by seven
TO eight thousand majority. The other
two amendments -namely, to change the
time of election and to allow the legisla-
ture TO fix salaries Of State oficers-are
supposed to be beaten.

PEAL is, above all things, consistent, and 1t
desires always to be just and fair and
right, Therefore, we repeat, the ArPEAL
desires the prosperity of Nashville and the
success of the Midland railroad, which
cannot be built any too soon. But we
must say that another campaign like that
at Nashville would retard and prevent such
a contamination for long time if it did
not wholly preyent il.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. S.-The news
being received at the State Democratic
headquarters in this city is encouraging for
the Democrats, and they are jubilant over
the delcat Of Mahunc. Chairman Bar
bourne said that his estimate was that the
Democrats in both branches of the Legis-
laturc would about hold their own, the
losses in a few counties being offset by
gains in rs many more. He is certain of a
Democratic majority Of twenty-five on

Illegal Voters Arrested.

NFw YORK, Nov. S.-A large number of
arrests are being made for illegal voting,
but no trouble has yet occurred at any OF
the polling places. Rumors OF trading off
the State ticket by both Democrats and
Republicans in favor OF either Fellows or
Nicoll are plentiful, and to certain ex-
tent are believed TO have basis of fact.
The fight over the district attorneyship is
overshadowing every other question, and
both sides are confident. The George vote
in the city is smaller than was anticipated.
The Prohibition vote is also light Adj
vices from the State show that the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are getting out all
their votes, and that the lines are tightly
drawn. The indications are that the Pro-
hbitionists will poll larger vote than last
election, while the George vote outside OF
New York city will be insignificant.
